I've become a deviant

And it's all going to be here http://wadebeger.deviantart.com/

I'll start to upload more of my stuff from now on, so fav this link too.

I'm normally very lazy when it comes to editing photos - Hopefully this will encourage me to edit quicker :)

Quick congrats

Just came back from the city where my good friends in the band "Moshi Mosh" played their first gig at the Jade Monkey in Adelaide. Unfortunately technical difficulties hindered some of the night, but that's something you get on your first night I suppose.

I took a few photos here and there, which I'll post up here when they're done.

Congratulations guys, and I hope things only get better :)

An espresso a day..

I like coffee.

However I don't own an espresso machine.
Which is somewhat of a lie, because I have 2 in my backyard. But they are there for a reason.
You see, they have a tendency to attempt to kill me by electrocution. As you can see, they have yet to succeed, but I have also now taken heed of their violent tendencies and removed them from my kitchen.

So for a while now I've been looking for a machine that I can buy when I have money, and I think I have found just the machine.

The Rancilio Sylvia with a Mazzer Mini grinder to go with it. This is my need to reach a state of espresso filled euphoria.
At the moment, I drink an instant coffee mix; namely 'International Roast' - What do others drink? Or what machine do you use?

I like my coffee 'hot'

Indeed everyone likes to have their coffee served rather hot, however Rockstar may well have turned the temperature up a little too high for comfort.

I'm sure by now everyone has heard of the predicament R* has gotten themselves into with their little 'sex-mini game' being found out not only in their PC version, but also now the Playstation 2 version of the game GTA : San Andreas.

R*'s defense is that the code should never have been seen by the public as it was not part of the game, however was left in there due to time restraints. Unfortunately for them the code has found its way into use, and shits hit the fan.

Pretty silly for Rockstar, but people are starting to overreact slightly. It is just a little game for fun anyway. The original rating for the game was set at 17+, with its new rating in America being 18+. I may be wrong, but I don't believe the maturity level changes that rapidly as such that a 17 year old is unable to witness such 'disturbing scenes of graphic sex' and then bang, at 18 the same person is able to enjoy such a game.

Please keep in mind however that stealing cars, viciously murdering people and other violent acts are fine.

On other coffee related news, McDonalds ran into litigations over some seriously hot coffee back in 1994 it seems.

It seems everything is quoted as fahrenheit in that article btw. I'm fairly sure a coffee shouldn't be made at too hot a temperature otherwise you also run the risk of burning the beans.
I know milk should be frothed at about 65C, but I forget what the coffee should be at O_o
